And next...

Some days I'm quite happy I don't know what comes next. Other days I wish I did so I could stop things from happening.

On Thursday my daughter took a fall down the stairs at her house. She could not break the fall with her hands as she was carrying the baby in his car seat and landed on her side and back. She suffered a big injury to her liver and the first 24 hours were all about waiting. Anxious waiting. She has a concussion and probably a whiplash injury to her neck. We will find out after the CT she's taking right now.

Suddenly I have found myself the primary caregiver of two little boys for the forseeable future. The first day was quite stressful, but things are slowly falling into place as they tend to do.

I keep telling myself to take deep breaths but I'm afraid I will crumble If I do. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Don't I feel the fool complaining the
other day about the little problems this summer...

Oh sweetie, my heart goes out to you. I hope your daughter is okay and that she will heal and be just fine. Those babes will be a handful, make sure you sleep when they sleep, remember? Prayers for you all. xox

I'm so sorry about your daughter's accident, but it sounds like she will make a full recovery. What a blessing that you are nearby to help as she heals! What would she and her family do without you? So as someone else said, care for yourself every moment that you can!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm sure the doctors will do everything they can, and that this will come out at the right side. Think positiv!!.The baby is ok, and thats a blessing.Even if you have a huge responsibility just now, I belive you will cope. Be happy that you don't know tomorrow. We all need to live today.Pray for you.

Hoping your daughter recovers from her accident quickly and completely. How wonderful for her that you are able to provide loving care to her wonderful boys. DO breathe deeply and take care of yourself, too. Prayers for you all. mdmontalvo@yahoo.com

Love and healing prayers for you all!You are showing your grand babies what familyis all about...good times and hard times.Set aside a little time after their bed time todo a little crumbling....you are entitled.Then pick up the crumbles and carry on :)

The shock is making you feel shaky at the moment Nina Lise but you will be able to cope. Those little ones will show you how. Rest when you can, Kris's advice is good, you need to crumble a little now and again. I do hope the news of your daughter is good and she will soon be recovering well. Sending you a big hug. Prioritise and you will get through this. xx

Best wishes to you all! You must know more about your daughter's prognosis by now. Creating a routine with the little boys will make things a bit easier, and you must "put the oxygen mask on your own face before you start helping the child". Take care of yourself!

welcome

to my tiny little piece of the Internet; I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Leave a comment if you like; I would love to hear from you. You'll find my patterns and tutorial tabs on the top of the page.All material is copyrighted.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 7 and 3 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 16 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
